0692 [Trouble in the Kingdom of Jin]
Twenty or thirty years to create a scientific era, of course, Zhu Ming is whimsical, it is good to create an era of scientific enlightenment.
When the father and son were discussing the prodigy class, Wu Qimai was facing a very embarrassing situation in Shangjing (Acheng District, Harbin) in the distant Jin Kingdom.
"Father, those people are going to cooperate," Wanyan Zongpan said in a low voice with a hideous look on his face, "It's better to take advantage of their meeting in the city, I will take a hundred people to ambush, kill all those people, and then subdue their Meng'an!" ”
Wu Qimai glared at his son: "I'll kill you first!" ”
Wanyan Zongpan asked rhetorically: "Then what should I do?" Watching them seize power step by step? ”
"Wait." Wu Qimai said.
"Wait any longer, we will be kicked out of Shangjing!" Wanyan Zongpan said aggrievedly.
Historically, in order to fight for power, Wanyan Zongpan strongly advocated stopping the attack on the Song Dynasty, returning the lands of Henan and Shaanxi, and clamoring to rule with Zhao Gou. When Yan Zonghan died of illness, he immediately booby-trapped his cronies, only to be killed by a group of military nobles.
Wu Qimai analyzed: "I am now the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and you are the deputy commander of the armies inside and outside the Jin. As long as we don't kill people indiscriminately, there will never be a danger to our lives. Although those people are joining forces now, how can they be of one heart? The more we back down, the more power they have. When the time comes, they will inevitably fight for power. ”
Wanyan Zongpan was puzzled: "They are fighting for power, and this power will not be given to us?" ”
Wu Qimai shook his head and said, "If they can't fight to the end, they must find someone to reconcile." The person in charge of reconciliation can only be the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom. Moreover, the oblique has not been in good health for the past two years, and I don't know how long I can live. As long as he dies, something will definitely happen, and we can take advantage of the opportunity to do it. ”
The person Wu begs to buy the most jealous of is not Wanyan Zonghan, but Wanyan Xianye, the prime minister of the country.
When the Jin State attacked the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang were only the left and right marshals, while Wanyan Xian also belonged to the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty.
This person holds the power of the court, the rich territory in Liaozhong, and the nobles of the ancestral family and the powerful of all ethnic groups.
If Wu Qimai dies violently now, then it is not Wanyan Zonghan who inherits the throne, and Wanyan Xian will also be the emperor 100%.
"Your Majesty, Master Han is here."
"Ask him to come in."
A Han official who was about fifty years old walked to the hall, knelt down and bowed, and said, "The minister greets His Majesty the Emperor." ”
Wu Qimai said with a pleasant face: "Han Qing, please get up quickly." Throne! ”
Han Fang was born in the Liao Kingdom, and he was extremely influential among the old Liao people, and he had his own family power.
When he sent an envoy to Goryeo, he asked the Goryeo monarchs and ministers, who had always refused to submit, to quickly write down the table of the Zunjin Kingdom as the country of his parents.
Wu begged for great joy, and promoted Han Fang many times within a year, and is now a scholar of Zhaowenguan University in Jinguo.
The merit of persuading Goryeo to surrender was just a pretense, and Han Fang's real role was to revise history and help the Jin State carry out internal reforms at the same time.
Wu Qimai, Wanyan Xianye, and Wanyan Zonggan, although they usually compete with each other for power, they also have room for cooperation. That is, the emperor and the prime minister joined forces to take back the local military and political power little by little through a series of political reforms!
The establishment of the Privy Council in Datong and Yanjing was actually made by Wu Qimai, who tried to send Jurchen nobles and civil officials to control the army.
However, the people sent out were soon overshadowed by Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang, and they had to re-dispatch officials acceptable to both sides.
The next step was to abolish the Privy Council and establish an official system similar to that of the Song and Liao countries, and they greatly appreciated the Great Song Dynasty's "use of literature to control military force".
Wu Qimai asked: "Han Qing's three-province system, can you talk about it in detail?" ”
Han Fang said: "In the center, there are three provinces of Shangshu, Zhongshu and Menxia, and Shangshu Province has Shangshu Ling, left and right ministers, and left and right Cheng. Shang Shuling has no real power, the left and right ministers are the prime ministers, and the left and right ministers are the deputy prime ministers......"
"Under the three provinces, there are six more departments, the Imperial History Terrace, the Marshal's Mansion, the Dazong Zhengfu, the Hanlin Academy, the Dianqian Division, and the Quannong Division......"
"Zhu Bo was extremely fierce, and he was reappointed to official positions with no real power, such as Taishi, Taibao, and Taifu. The Marshal's Mansion was retained, and he was in charge of the national army. When the battle is fought, the imperial court will send the capital marshal or the left and right deputy marshals to lead the troops......"
In fact, it is the mixed official system of Song and Liao, and some names of the Jin State are retained, and the Marshal's Mansion is the Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty.
Wu Qimai asked about the role of each institution, but after understanding everything, he could only sigh.
If he wants to play this set, he must be dormant as an emperor, and he can only do it after Yan Zonghan dies of illness. Moreover, Wan Yan Xian has to be boiled to death together, which is a political game called "see who lives long".
Wu Qimai's current military strength can only ensure the safety of the imperial city and prevent anyone from reaching into the palace.
Out of the imperial city, even in the capital, Wu Qimai can't call the shots.
Han Fang said: "In the state capital of Liaozhong, the official reform will be completed first. ”
"Not for now." Wu Qimai shook his head and said.
If reforms are carried out in the Liaozhong region, it will only enhance the local control of Wanyan Xianye, but it will not be of much benefit to Wu Qimai, the emperor.
Han Fang also said: "If the opposition is too loud, you can first set up a ministry of officials and a ministry of rites in Shangjing." ”
"It's not time yet." Wu Qimai still disagreed, this kind of thing has to wait until Yan Xian dies of illness.
Han Fang also told Wu Qimai about the Liao and Song Dynasty systems and culture, and also told Wu Qimai about the history of the Han and Tang dynasties like a story.
After talking for two hours, Han Fang retired and left the palace.
After leaving the palace, Han Fang went straight to Wanyan Xianye's mansion: "Meet His Royal Highness!" ”
Wan Yan Xian also asked directly: "Can he agree to set up the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites?" ”
"It's not the right time." Han Fang replied.
"Confused!"
Wan Yan Xian was also annoyed: "If there is no Ministry of Officials and Ministry of Rites, how can you reform the official system?" How to take back the national military power? He is the emperor and doesn't take power, can't I collect it? ”
Han Fang bowed his head and was silent, he was not anyone's henchman, he was just a tool for political reform.
Whoever controls the Jin Kingdom court will reuse him!
Wu Qimai did not cooperate, and Wanyan Xian could only seek cooperation with Wanyan Zonghan.
In the next half month, the conference will continue to be held.
The military pressure brought by the Ming Dynasty was too great, and the two major factions of the Jin State could only join forces temporarily, and the results of the meeting were as follows-
Wu Qimai is still the emperor.
Wan Yan Xian also served as the left and right prime ministers of the State Theory, and Wan Yan Zonghan served as the Right Bo Jilie of the National Theory, that is, the left and right prime ministers of the Jin State.
Wanyan Zonggan served as Amam Bo Jilie (first deputy prime minister).
Wanyan Zongwang served as the marshal of the capital (privy envoy).
The two factions recognized Tan Ban Bo Jilie as the crown prince, but it was replaced by the eldest grandson of Akuta, Wan Yan Kang.
Several other positions have also been adjusted.
Wu Qimai's henchmen were ostracized by both factions and completely left the aristocratic council.
An emperor who was completely overthrown, a prince who was not yet ten years old, and the military and political power of the Jin State was divided among the nobles through negotiation.
"It's too bullying!"
"A bunch of thieves!"
Wu begged to buy those adult sons, rushed to the palace to complain about their grievances, and the grumpy ones scolded directly.
Wu Qimai said to his sons: "I have heard the story of the Han people, and there have been hundreds of emperors in the Han dynasties, and some of them have been bullied by powerful ministers and cannot call the shots. You can learn from the Han people, and pretend to be self-defeating, and you should pretend to like pleasure and stop meddling in military and political affairs. I will also ask the Prime Minister to help loot beauties and treasures, and the more I do this, the more reassured the Prime Minister becomes. ”
"What's the use of these?" The third son, Wanyan Zongya, asked.
Wu Qimai said: "Would you be afraid of a tiger? ”
Wanyan Zongya said: "Of course I'm afraid. ”
Wu Qimai asked again: "Would you be afraid of a fat pig that is lazy and smelly, and only knows how to eat and sleep?" ”
"Don't be afraid." Wanyan Zongya said.
Wu Qimai smiled: "You should put away your minions and pretend to be a fat pig." When the opportunity comes, it will become a tiger again. ”
Wanyan Zongpan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Father is right, you must pretend that there is no harm, and wait for them to let down their guard and bite it again!" ”
Wu Qimai advised: "Sleep more women and have more sons." Even if we can't regain power, let our children and grandchildren get back what they have lost. ”
As soon as the meeting was over, two urgent military information was suddenly delivered.
The first is that Goryeo is about to send troops north, and it is information sent by the minister of Goryeo.
The second is that Xi people, who were migrated to Youzhou, rebelled.
Wanyan Zongwang rushed back to Yanshan Mansion urgently, and halfway through hearing that the rebellion had been quelled, it was Liu Cao, the son of Liu Yanzong (who had just died of illness), who led the troops to quell the rebellion.
Wanyan Zongwang trusted the Liu family more and more, and promoted Liu Cao to be the deputy capital of Yanshan Mansion.
Wanyan Zonghan's side was also in trouble, Yelu Dashi suddenly led his troops to invade the south, defeated several Khitan tribes by surprise, and plundered a large number of people and livestock to return to Mobei.
Wanyan Zonghan was about to clean up Yelu Dashi, and news came from the Datong direction that the Zhenbao monk of Wutai County raised troops again, and this time he also had more adequate armor.
Thousands of Jin soldiers had just been transferred to Wutai to quell the rebellion, but there was also a Han rebel army in Xinzhou.
Due to the excessive grain collection last year, more than 40,000 hungry people of the Han nationality gathered in Daizhou Prefecture this spring. Instead of providing relief, the Jin government also sent troops to forcibly disperse the hungry people.
In desperation, a heroic hero led the hungry people to rise up.
They did not dare to storm the city of Daizhou, and went up the river to kill Xianglai County, plundering the gentry and wealthy households along the way, and tens of thousands of righteous troops attacked the county seat of Laoxian.
Three hundred Jurchen cavalry were killed, and tens of thousands of rebels fled in defeat, scattered in the mountains and turned into more than ten forces.
These mountain forces are not only anti-Jin rebels, but also bandits and bandits, and the Jin soldiers cannot be exterminated when they enter the mountains many times.
Immediately afterwards, the Khitan tribe, who were migrated to Xianping by the Jin State, also rebelled because of the lack of food. They were defeated by the Jin soldiers of Quang Ninh Province, and the remnants fled to Hanju (Siping City), and then raided and streamed to the Tongliao region along the way.
The evil consequences of last year's excessive grain requisition broke out in a concentrated manner this spring, and rebellions of all sizes broke out one after another in various parts of the country.
But it didn't become a climate, and it was slaughtered several times, and the sparse population didn't make much trouble at all. Second, the various ethnic groups were divided and relocated, and it was difficult to twist into a rope, and they were always broken by a small number of gold soldiers.
Even if the Goryeo army went north, the Jin people only needed 1,000 horsemen to break it.
What is really fatal is that the Xingzhou defenders suddenly mutinied, the Jurchen guards were designed to be booby-trapped, and the deputy general of the Bohai tribe took the troops and the city to surrender directly to Li Bao in formation!
